7 juin
Today I took my final for our classes and finished up all of my assignments for the two courses I've been taking on the study abroad. I just have to write a research paper that is due in September and then I will have completed 6 credits toward my French major! The final was an interview in French with our professor where we talked the set up of French government. I spent the rest of the day buying groceries, repacking my things, and figuring out travel plans for the upcoming weeks.
Love this ad about Orangina...who knew a price could be sexy?
We had our final group dinner at a cafe in Old Nice. I want to give lots of different kinds of seafood a chance while here in south France. I ordered oysters...and those were no bueno...they were cold and slimy and chewy and tasted like the unbearably salty mediterranean sea water. Oh well, now I know not to eat them again. But I tried someone else's mussels and I liked those so I'll have to get those sometime. Then I got a big piece of fish..in English it is a John Dory fish, but I don't remember what it was called in French. I also tried my friend's foie gras. It was in paté form. Foie gras is a French delicacy and is either goose or duck liver. Foie gras is a controversial dish for animal rights activists though because they usually force-feed the ducks or geese so that their liver will be a lot larger. I ate it with some bread and didn't dislike it as much as I thought I would. But I will still be very content with my life if I don't have a chance to eat it again. For dessert, I had white cheese with honey. It basically tasted like yogurt and honey, super yummy! I walked down the promenade along the beach and watched all the lights turn on as the sun went away. Happy memory.
